Double Crested Cormorants are another popular species for any nature enthusiast looking to observe coastal birds in their natural habitat. These amazing creatures dive underwater to catch their prey, making them an interesting and exciting species to watch. Whether you’re interested in bird watching or simply want to experience something out of the ordinary, double crested cormorants are sure to provide a unique and unforgettable experience.
Last year, I took a photo of this bird in the reed grasses of Edwin Forsythe Wildllife Refuge. My birdwatching expertise is slowly increasing but it has a long way to go. I searched for the species of the bird with Google Lens, Petersons’ and National Wildlife Federation Guides as well as internet search. I believe it is a Grackle, perhaps a “boat tail” Grackle. Hopefully, some knowledgeable reader can comment and correct me if I am wrong on this blog.
